High-Tech Doghouse Protects Pets While Owners Run Errands

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — For those who need to walk their pet and run errands at the same time it can be hard to find a place to stash your pet while you’re inside a store. The inventors behind a new high-tech doghouse have a solution with their so-called DogSpot.

The climate-controlled spots are cleaned after each use and can be monitored on the owner’s smartphone.

They cater to pets comfort and owners convenience with a map that allows you to view where the service is offered and reserve a spot in advance.
